Don't put your disembodied voice in an envelope - send objects, Tangibles from Vermont, like the broken thread from the last shirt you've lost, Photographs of the house, I should see you as you are What kind of soap is in your bathroom; where do you keep your car keys? Send me your favorite recipe, something from your pocket like a ticket stub or tattered list... I'll answer promptly enclosing dust from my closet, mud from the soles of my shoes. Can you imagine me exhausted, tissues tucked in a sleeve, |
lying beside my husband, who, regardless, caresses my hip? I could send you a toenail clipping or the umpteen odd barrettes, rubber bands, unanswered letters scattered in my drawer, Don't write sentences. No matter how we feel, send specifics - a branch of our family's Christmas tree, your daughter's loose tooth, crumbs from the toast you ate this morning. Send me what defies language, something of which there isn't any doubt. ("Letters" by Cathy Appel - 1948) |
